Posts about Junk Science as of July 24, 2009

Andrew Breitbart ‘Let me be clear,’ Prof. Gates is a jackass. And his field of studies (the junk social science of victimhood) demanded he play the role of martyr. Was anyone surprised he overreacted? And Obama indulging Gates’ ‘You dont know who youre messing with’ while ADMITTING ‘not having been there and not seeing all the facts,’ we’ll now get more of this crap. FYI, this is what community organizers do: stir S#@T up. Dennis Prager said on his radio show today (first hour): The President made things worse by commenting on it.

Jupiter’s new scar has been photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The huge mark was left when a comet or asteroid plowed into the planet. The image above is the sharpest yet of the Pacific Ocean–sized impact site, which was first observed by world’s luckiest amateur astronomer, Anthony Wesley. The new shot was taken by Hubble’s newest toy, the Wide Field Camera 3, which was installed during the most-recent servicing mission to the telescope in May.

Psychologist Thomas Bouchard , a leader in the field of twin and adoption studies, is retiring from the University of Minnesota. He gave this farewell interview to Science. Major components of today’s conventional wisdom will turn out to be completely wrong. It has always been the case in the past and there is no reason that we shouldn’t expect it to be true today. Q: What got you into twin studies? TB: I was teaching the psychology of individual differences, and in 1979, two different people put a copy in my mailbox of a story about twins reared apart and their similarities when they met.

Since the establishment of time the world has been searching for the elusive fountain of youth. As we become old we all seem to drop that young at heart vigor and we all get to the point where we would like to appear and feel younger. Yet, it may be feasible that the fountain of youth has been with us all along and we just didn’t understand it. Science has found that the greater part of age-related deterioration along with most diseases and other disorders are caused by free radicals.

Rather than adding links to other websites one by one, I’ve been collecting links and saving them in a document. What I’m going to do is add them to this blog when I have a dozen or so. Links on web design, marketing, e-commerce will be on the NoraJean-Designs Blog . There is more to life than making money and that’s why I have two blogs. This one for general nattering and life observations, the NJD-blog for topics that are relevant to e-commerce.

It should come as no surprise that I find all of the panic and hysteria around “global warming,” wait, now it just “climate change,” utter nonsense. Fortunately, India holds the same view and has told the EU carbon bullies to take a hike. The Financial Times online reports: India rejected key scientific findings on global warming, while the European Union called for more action by developing states on greenhouse gas emissions.

In a shift, three borough presidents want to check the mayor’s power by giving the Board of Education oversight over contracts and temporarily restoring a system of neighborhood school boards.The seven-member Board of Education came back into existence on July 1 after the law governing mayoral control expired, but at that point four of the five borough leaders — all but Rubén Díaz Jr. of the Bronx — had supported maintaining the mayor’s nearly unilateral grip on the school system.

Back on the old site, I posted an item that related tangentially to the issue of plastic bags in supermarkets. Russ LeBlanc sent me a note, which I published as an update to that post. He’s now expanded on that idea, with a letter to newsdurhamregion.com : You’d think in these tough economic times our public officials would avoid “trash talk.” Enough already! Get to the real issues. Dwelling on emotional fallacies such as the dreaded plastic bag while people are left with little economic hope is unforgivable.

Being a man of science, and having taken a college course at Princeton on ancient man, I can safely assure you that when the humans organized themselves into great armies and destroyed the Neanderthal juggernaut, they did so without having to worry about whose feelings were going to get hurt. It is one of the world’s oldest cold cases. Sometime between 50,000 and 75,000 years ago, a Neanderthal male known to scientists as Shanidar 3 received a wound to his torso, limped back to his cave in what is now Iraq and died several weeks later.

I saw on GenPop the mention of a survey being conducted on “Perceptions of Wrongful Convictions in the United States.” It’s just a quick questionnaire to see what people think about wrongful convictions, and to see what other factors may contribute to those thoughts. The results of the survey may or may not be used for academic purposes. Everyone should take a moment to contribute to the research. You can take the survey here .

Two Kenyan university students have invented a device that allows bicycle riders to charge their mobile phones. Jeremiah Murimi, 24, and Pascal Katana, 22, said they wanted their dynamo-powered “smart charger” to help people without electricity in rural areas. “We both come from villages and we know the problems,” Mr Murimi told the BBC. People have to travel great distances to shops where they are charged $2 a time to power their phone, usually from a car battery or solar panel.

One of the things I have lamented here on my blog is the fact that, due to my current lifestyle, I am almost always unable to go see movies in theaters when they are first released, (hence all the DVD movie reviews I do here).  My friend Tony contacted me about a week ago wanted to see a review of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen , to which I had to explain I would probably have to wait until I saw the DVD version.  He took matters into his own hands and offered to write his OWN review of the movie theater version.  Thanks Tony! .

I’ll keep this one short as I am sure you’re all anxious to get to your trading and to your Friday (yes, that is today).   DV is still on “vacay” [vacay - vacation, abbreviated, derived from the first two syllables (Source: Urban Dictionary)].   I hope you’re having a “stochastic” summer so far [stochastic – a mix of stoked and fantastic – something that is really full on!

In part one of this three part series, we discussed coinshooting without using any electronic instruments. In this segment we will look at coin shooting with a metal detector and how-to-elements of metal detecting research. I love this arena and for forty years I have participated passionately with all types of detectors and want others to experience the same ecstacy that a valuable or keeper coin brings when it comes out of the ground. Today we are blessed with great tecnology in the metal detecting hobby.

by Benjamin J. MihajlovIs it really possible to increase vertical jumping quickly? Is jumping higher really that important? If you desire to have the competitors edge, learning how to jump higher is vital. In basketball, when you increase your vertical jump, your jump shot will be better, along with rebounding the basketball. As a defensive player, you will be more effective if you are able to jump higher in order to block your competitors shot.

From David Rotherham. I DO not think it is good for Public Health to publish scaremongering based on junk science. I refer to the letter (JEP, 18 July) that introduced me to the novel concept of a lazy immune system caused by vaccinations.

A  monopsony is a situation in which a product or service is only bought by one customer.  Jo Nova has done a new study now available at The Science and Public Policy Institute that reveals that the U.S. Government has spent more than $79 billion of taxpayer money since 1989 on policies related to climate change, including science and technology research, administration, propaganda campaigns, foreign aid and tax breaks.  Most of this spending was unnecessary and useless.An informal movement of

Since sustainability is the flavor of the year and perhaps the century, it is time we started applying it to HOW we do things and not just those THINGS we buy and sell. Essentially, sustainability is about HOW things are made, HOW they operate over time, HOW they are recycled into other things or just left as junk in the earth. But we tend to ignore the inconvenient aspects.

The following is a guest post from Marotta Wealth Management . It has some Virginia-focused info near the end, but the general suggestions still hold true for us all. In my first job teaching computer science, someone stole my wallet off my desk during my office hours.

The Neanderthals have always held a special place in the field of anthropology.  The skeletal remains of our short, stocky evolutionary relatives have been found everywhere from Spain to Iraq. Their physical likeness to our own species, and the possibility that humans and Neanderthals may have interacted, has long fascinated experts and enthusiastic novices alike.  But simply studying their skeletal remains and artifacts seemed to leave more questions than answers.
